Today the Indians wrapped up a 4-game series sweep of the Seattle Mariners. The red-hot Tribe have won 18 of their last 22 games and are 21-7 since April 20th. The Indians are currently first place in the AL Central, holding a 2.5 game lead over the Detroit Tigers.
So, what does the schedule look like for Cleveland moving forward?
Well, the schedule gets a little bit more difficult for this next stretch of the season. Over the next 25 games, the Indians are facing series against the Tigers, Red Sox, Reds, Rays, Yankees, Rangers and Nationals. Yikes.
Up to this point in the season, the Tribe has done a good job beating up on weaker opponents and holding their own against the top teams. So even if they cool off over the next stretch of games, as long as the Indians continue to hold serve against strong opponents, Cleveland will continue set the pace atop the AL Central standings.
